so we downfrade almost everything and lose our first this year? wtf

So they either get fleeced or fleece other teams

Girard is better, younger, and signed longer for the same cap hit as Brodie. And then you have the Avs adding in Rodrigues?

Teams aren’t going to just gift the Leafs a top pairing defenseman. This is a bad post all around.

Next level preposterous

Agree with what you’ve said but zero chance Girard > Brodie

Tough to make a comparison between them because they profile much differently as players, but I’d take Girard over Brodie.

Poor guy is upset his pens are falling off, has to lash out at leaf fans

Terrible for the Isles, absolutely terrible proposal.

one regulation loss this month

team needs to be fixed

okay

I honestly believe kings will make a very very strong offer to Mathews in a couple years. No need to make this trade.

You can kiss Lamoriello's old wrinkly ass lmao

Lol we ain’t trading Logan Thompson, especially not for that lol. Dream on

i think matthews signs with the leafs anywhere 5-7 years (because the leafs will give him an insane signing bonus) and walks after that.. as much as i would love to see him play his whole career here i dont think he will

LA probably says yes because that's a hilarious underpay for Matthews - Byfield has big upside, sure, but if you told me I could have Auston friggin' Matthews at the cost of a top-6 wing, a middle pair LD, and two prospects (without giving up a single pick) I think I say yes.

The other 4 are all easy passes, IMO - Seattle is currently 2nd in their division, so I can't see them trading two middle-6 wingers for a guy who's (at best) a lateral move and a younger player at a position they're pretty stocked at. If they were in the tank I could see them doing it but it's giving out more than they should for a team playing well.

Islanders easily pass - Jarnkrok and Beau are probably equal value, which means the rest of the trade is pending UFA Bunting & Ottawa's 3rd for Wahlstrom. Bunting needs a new contract and honestly needs to show he can produce without Matthews/Marner/Nylander on his line; Wahlstrom is still on the last year of his ELC and it would be extremely surprising for him to have a higher cap hit next year than Bunting. Value just isn't there for New York to make the deal.

Colorado passes here, too - I think they'd rather have 24 year old Sam Girard with 4x$5M left than 32 year old TJ Brodie with 1x$5M left, simple as that.

Absolutely no way that Vegas trades their starting goaltender when they're the top team in the Western Conference - the rest of the deal isn't pretty, either, but that's the #1 reason why they pass.

Isles fans should just ignore this post. This is obviously a clueless Toronto fan trying to get a rise out of us.

How about Beau for Matthews ? I think that's fair.
